San Diego Zoo Safari

This had to be one of my favorite spots we went in San Diego. San Diego has a lot to offer visitors. In Omaha, the Zoo Safari is something you drive through. It is not close to the zoo and you drive through several acres of land where buffalo and deer and elk roam free. It is quite a nice experience. The Zoo Safari in San Diego is quite different. It is also not located near the zoo…but about an hour north. It, too, is a sprawling area where animals have large places to roam. However, you walk through a majority of it. I got a LOT of steps in that day, but I loved every moment of it! They house their big cats there and they had twin 4 month old tiger cubs out for awhile to romp and play. They were little pistols! They practiced their pouncing and attacked each other and their mom. Their dad was in a jungle enclosure across the path and he was anxiously waiting for his kiddos to come out for their morning exercise with their mom. There were three lioness sisters. Their personalities were hysterical. You will be able to see quite clearly who the more difficult sister with a ‘trying’ personality was. We were able to see lots of rhinoceros and elephants and giraffes. It was a wonderful day and I hope to go back again sometime!
